Yesterday it kinda hit me that the feed left a lot more “reddit-y” suddenly. More american politics for one.

There is a also aspecific thing that alerted me: Sudden appearance of this pattern plagueing reddit where a post about some bad muslim person escalates into edgy atheism which is also kinda racist and lowkey fascist in a very specific way.

I don’t have a lot of empiric evidence, just the vibe seems to have shifted.

    I came from reddit 2 or 3 years ago now and i think most others are the same. Idk about all of a sudden. Its had the same undertones for a while now if you ask me and i think it grows along with the more people that join. As for politics I got tired of that the year before the last election. I invested some time into filters with certain words. Some stuff still slips by, but i am fine with seeing a few things.

    Personally I can’t wait for more of that, the one thing this place lacks is the smaller unique communities that bring a lot of great obscure information to the table.
